COUNTY INSTITUTE CORRESPONDENCE

Last Wednesday closed the most sue.
cessful Institute ever held in Gallatin
County. Between thirty and forty
teachers were present.
Every member of the Institute seemed
willing to assist the Superintendent in
raising the schools of Gallatin to a high
standard, Special mention should be
made ofterritorial superintendent Logan.
county superintendent Miss. Mary F.
Houston and Prof. Harmon. Superin-
tendent Logan, for the useful hints and
good advice gwen to the teachers at the
institute, and for his able, pleasing, and
instructive lecture, given at the church
Tuesday evening. in which some whole
some truths were told in a pleasing man
ner, and in such a way as to cause both
teachers and patrons to wish that super
intendent Logan might be often seen in
the schools and houses of Bozeman
He seeu.st to be especially fitted for the
work, and the heartfelt thanks of the
teachers are extended to him for the
| good work which he has done.
The success of the institute was due in
a great degree to the tact exercised by
the county superintendent In managing
such a body of teachers and getting good
work from all, and in securing the good
| will of her teachers while fulfilling the
| duties of her office in strict accordance
| with the law. We also sincerely thank
| her for the enjoyable evening spent at
her house, which brought her before US
in the light of a gracious and pleasing
hostess. Making for us an evening not
soon to be forgotten. Lastly we are in
debted to Prof. Harmon for the able
manner in which he presensed to the
institute the subjects of grammar and
/ arithmetic believing that many of the
Gallatin teachers received new ideas
! from his manner If instruction. ON
firm belief Is that if most institutes
We're conducted in like manner teach err
would have less canse to complain o
wasted time.

MOTIONS DISAPPEARANCE,

X. IL. Norton, formerly clerk of the
district court. left Bozemau on Sunday
the 9th and has not since been heard
from directly. Mr.. Norton is some $500
short in his accounts with the county
and being unable to make the amount
good he disappeared. Before leaving
Norton directed that some stock he had
be turned v to his bondsmen, who,
so far as known, are Chas. Hoffman and
Geo. Wakefield. In an interview with
u reporter, Mr.. Wakefield expressed
his surprise at Norton's action in leaving.
The hondsmen would have raised the
money required and had him pay it in
to the treasury, with the hope of getting
it back from Norton when he was able
to pay. 1t is presumed that the grand
jury has indicted Norton, but at this
writing it is impossible to determine
positively whether such is the case.

OUR CROPS.

Mr.. ?. Koch, Of Bozeman, has prepared
for the Independent a crop statement
which we herewith publish. There is
probably no man in the Gallatin valley
whose estimate of the crop could be
more relied upon than MIR. Koch:
"Threshing is o finished in the
Gallatin valley. l have as yet been I'M
able to receive exact returns from all
the threshers, but I received enough to
enable me to make a very close estimate
of the entire crop raised in our valley
this season. The figure embrace no
crops in Willow crock or other side val
leys.
"Twenty.seven steam threshers have
been at work, averaging G0,000 bushels
each, making a total of say 10000
bushels. OF this amount probably three
fonrths are oats, one fourth wheat and
barley. The money value of this crop
is about as follows:
"One million two hundred thousand
bushels machine measure) oats 90.
100000 pounds at 1c. per pound, $500. 900;
1905 300 bushels wheat at 624c. per bu,
$25o.O0O; total, S750,0O0; add to this
amount the value of the hay, potatoes
and dairy products, and we find that the
farm products of Gallatin valley are this
year worth in round numbers one mil
lion dollars. And yet this is only a be-
ginning. Look at the following figures {:
One million two hundred thousand
bushels oats, go bushels per acre, 10000
acres-3O sections; 400, 900 bushels wheat
at 40 bushels per acre, 10000 acres-l5
sections.
"Altogether then only 10000 acres, or
40 sections, or II townships, have been
under cultivation this year to produce
the above stated mount of grain.
"The area in the valley fit for %cultiva-
ton is at a low estimate eight town.
ships. Ifhalf of that area, or four town
ships, were cultivated each year, it
would be three times the area in crops
this year. and if the market will justify
it a very few years will see such an In
creased acreage. By utilizing the waters
of the West Gallatin. every acre in the
valley may be irrigated, and, except a
small gravelly section in the middle of
the valley, it will nearly all produce as
big crops as the lands now cultivated.
l have no comments to make ON the
above statement. The figures are far
more eloquent than any words from my
pen."

GORED BY A BULL.

Henry Hellinger and Nelson Story
own conformity a Holstein bull. Last
summer the animal became so vicious
that his horns were removed,--not un.
til he had killed a horse, however. Last
Wednesday afternoon, while Mr.. Hell
ling was at work in the field. the bull
attacked him, threw him down and
butted the defenseless man in a manner
that would soon have killed him. For
tunately, Mr.. Hellinger was rolled under
q hay rack, where the bull could not get
at him, and in this position was found
by'men who had been summoned by
Mrs, Hellinger, who, from the house,
witnessed the attack. Mr.. Hellingel
was badly bruised and had his collar
bone broken.

VALUABLE HORSES KILLED.

Mr.. Sanford Rutiner had three geld
ing and a mare killed at one fell swoop
by a freight train last week. The horses
have been grazing in the rear of MIR.
Rufiner's place all summer, and when
discovered dead Mr.. Ruiiner was in
search of them with the view of having
them broken. The horses were all about
four years old and from blooded stock.
They were rnadsters and Mr.. Ruffner is
greatly disappointed that he will not be
able to drive them this winter. 1t is
possible that the railroad company will
pay him what the horses were worth
but this cannot repay him for the care
and trouble he has had in raising them

Sherf Templeton, of Park county,
happened to be in Bozeman at the time
the robbery was committed, and, being a
personal friend of Mr.. Benham's, pre-
ceeded to hunt the thieves. Molasses
had been spread on the window, and =
piece of paper placed over it to deaden
the sound. Mr.. Templeton first found
where the molassls had been purchased,
and then got a meagre description of the
men. He then went to Livingston, and,
following out the idea that the burglars
had taken to the train, inquired of the
gunsmith if any railroad men had been
there after a certain kind of ammuni'
tion, which was required by an odd pat
tern pistol stolen. He found that there
had been, and soon found the rail
road man, who informed him that
the thieves had gone to Helena. Ia

in searching for his men, and finally
found them, one a negro named Chas'
Anderson, the other a white man named
Herbert Seeley, both tramps. They
were brought to Bozeman, and are Pow

VERSES FROM A VALUED CONTRIBI
TOR.

TOR.
Lillian, infant daughter of George and
and Emma s. Dickson, died September
18th, 1887:
And l think of her who in
Her infant beauty died,
Whose violet eyes op'ed in summers prime.
And closed when autumn sighed.
So fair and beautiful, she seemed
An angel sent from heaven,
And tremblingly in our rms we held
The jewel He had given.
In the forest shade we laid her,
Where many years ago
We buried orr dear father,
Amid the falling snow.
Yet not unmeet 1t was that one
Like that sweet babe of ours,
The bud fair summer brought to us
Should wither with the lowers. F.
